Tribord is a nautical term, meaning ‘starboard’ in French. Inspiration for this design came from coastal landscapes on the Isle of Wight, where sand, sea and sky merge in beautiful natural hues.

Tribord is an easy-level pattern for a loose-fitting top designed for linen yarn, or similar yarn with drape.
It is knitted bottom up in the round up to the sleeves. The back and front are then knitted separately and the shoulder shaping is formed by short rows. The shoulder seams are closed with a three needle bind-off. There are no seams to sew.
